Vegan for a Day!

I would have no issues going vegan for a day. Could I do forever? I'm afraid not. I do love eggs and cheese and meat. I do love vegetables however. Especially garden fresh. A nice tomato and cucumber salad. Perhaps some fresh spinach and mushrooms. A vegetable fajita with salsa. I'm making myself hungry! I like vegeburgers with chopped onion and salsa. Oatmeal with fresh fruit and nuts, works for me. However, some nice asparagus and baked tilapia with lemon and garlic would be aweful hard to give up permanently. I think being vegan for a day once a week would be good for you though.

Those who want to try to do a raw food diet often think and feel that the fruit actually makes hungry. I feel everytime I try to eat only plants in a day, I feel hungry faster, and therefore need to eat every couple of hours. I do not mind if it's a holiday, but I certainly can not eat all plants if I'm working since I will not be Able to concentrate much if I'm hungry and I am Become Usually hungry faster if I only eat fruits and vegetables in one day.

It would really be hard as I enjoy my Milk and cheese type products. But it would be interesting. I guess if I knew someone else that was willing to do it, or someone who already eats this way and I could be around them all day then maybe it would be easier. But having to work and be around all the different people eating so many different types of food, I probably could not do it.

I've been vegan for a few months before. I always try to be vegan but I love food too much. I avoid eating animal products as much as possible. I find that I am healthier if I do this. GOod on you by not eating animal products for a day. That is the best thing you can do to decrease your carbon footprint.

I've no reason to be vegan for a day, but if there were a contest or something where I won a prize for doing so, I'd probably be game. I'm addicted to eggs because they are the perfect food. They have so many of the minerals and nutrients in them. I actually had some vegan or vegetarian (I don't know which) chili with my daughter at a local restaurant and it was really good. If she hadn't told me I would have just assumed I was eating some form of meat. I also had an acquaintance at one of the work sites and he was vegan. Several people had his lasagna and said it was wonderful. Good luck with your new eating choices. Is this going to be a new year's resolution?

I was a vegan for a few years and I absolutely loved it. I saw noticeable (positive) changes in my hair and skin. The only reason I stopped is because it was rather expensive to buy cheese and milk replacements--though I do know people who are vegans for cheap. Good luck! and Make sure you get enough complex proteins! x

I've done it before, but I don't believe I could make a habit of it unless someone was threatening to kill me.

I went vegan almost year ago;) but today I had unusual day - not 100% vegan, first time since I am vegan;) I ate a little honey . If I were not vegan, I would go vegan for a day for sure. I love lentils, fruit, vegetables, grains. Since I eat a lot of whole plant foods I don't feel hungry all the day like I used to before. Since not everyone is willing to go completely vegan, I think that checking this diet for at least one day of a week is great idea:) Have a nice day, jazgottt

well for me personally i would say no well not at this time in my life but however later on in the future i may change my mind its not something i would not try just not at this moment in life.. however i cong you on making it thru one day.. i have some family members on my ex's side that did that life style for a long time and there whole family joined them even there 9 year old daughter im not certain if there still on it or not but i remember my daughter talking about how hard it was to go on vacation with her little cousin because of this diet.. but i wish you the best and if you decide to go another day .. good luck take care of yur self as well... and have fun.

Congratulations! I'd like to see you give it a good run for at least 21 days (thirty days is better, but 21 looks more attainable!). Perhaps you would like to try going to 100% vegan restaurants or cafe`s in your local area? Ask them for recipes if there's anything there that you like the look of, then try making them at home. They could also make some good recommendations. If you want it really easy & money's no object, you would find it really easy to go vegan by spending "all day" in your favourite vegan eatery!
